[Python-Dev] itertools.chunks(iterable, size, fill=None)

[anatoly techtonik]

Now that Python 3 is all about iterators (which is a user killer
feature for Python according to StackOverflow -
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python) would it be nice to
introduce more first class functions to work with them? One function
to be exact to split string into chunks.

    itertools.chunks(iterable, size, fill=None)

Which is the 33th most voted Python question on SO -
